Everitt made his major league debut a few days after the trade, making all of his appearances in relief and pitching a total of 15 2/3 innings with an 8.04 ERA. He gave up 18 hits and 12 walks in those innings, while striking out 11. He also pitched 7 games for the Key West Padres of the Florida State League that season, going 1-4, 4.63. The Padres are listed as an affiliate of the Chicago Cubs, but were in fact jointly operated by the Cubs and Padres that season. The Padres did not have a AAA affiliate that year, although they did use the AA Elmira Pioneers as their top farm club; it's not clear why Everitt was not sent there when he flunked the big league test. In any case, he never pitched professionally after that season.
